Keep the required parent context

Product Excerpt must be inside Product Builder, Fundamental Product Builder. Layout containers can sit between the parent and this element. Configure the product or checkout context on the parent.

This element has no children; use its own controls.

Controls

Responsive varies by breakpoint; Hover has a hover value; Shared applies across both. Linked controls have their own reference. In conditions, = means “is” and ≠ means “is not.”

Troubleshooting

The short description is empty

Populate the product's short description in WooCommerce.

The text is too long for the summary layout

Edit the short description or allow more space; use Product Description for the full explanation.
